No Kolb For You!

Good to hear Milwaukee telling the Cubs we are not interested in trading Kolb. The whole premise that Milwaukee could not afford Kolb hence why the Cubs should trade for him was ridiculous. The man is only making $1.5 million and might make $2-3 million next year. The Brewers can easily afford it. It was fantasy the day the rumor started and laughable when the Cubs approached Milwaukee about it...

The Chicago Cubs, among others, have asked about the availability of closer Dan Kolb, a Boras client who is arbitration-eligible.

"His contract is manageable," said Melvin, who paid Kolb $1.5 million last season. (The "Cubs) asked about him but I said I don’t have to move him."

"The only trade you’d do is if it helped your ballclub. He’s still part of what we’re trying to do. Unless I get bowled over, I’m not motivated to move him."

If the Cubs seriously want Kolb they better be willing to overpay by throwing in Guzman, and Brownlie. And I don't think the Cubs are that dumb.
